My son in law just purchased a 1960 Cadillac, I wanted a pictorial book for his birthday. I could'nt find one in any of the bookstores in Adelaide, South Australia. I was thrilled when this book arrived in the post, it was just what I wanted. Very informative with plenty of colour photos. Needless to say son in law loved his present!

Love the book! Like any picture book it needs more pictures. I think it skips some details on some of the cars. A summary in the back with options for each car would of made this a true classic. Hope he makes a new addition, more pictures please. It's a great very first book to get your bearing on the world of Cadillac Americana.

I have loved Caddys since my very first one.(A 1961 I bought in '72 when I was just a girl.)
I was never able to afford another one until almost 20 years later. Worth the wait.
Because of this love there of I read up on the then Cadillac history and honestly believed I knew all there was to know about this wonderful car.
I was wrong.
If you own this car, any year, any make, any model and you DON'T own this book. Shame on you! It is worth the price of admission just for the pictures.
Trust me!

Mr. Van Bogart has captured the classic beauty of Cadillac design and composed a brief history of the marque packaged in an immensely readable tome that does not require the strength of Hercules to lift.
Rated by buyers -
This is a great book for the casual Cadillac enthusiast who seeks a solid, well-rounded book about the marque; it's also good for the die-hard types like me who simply like to have as many beautiful colour photos of Cadillacs as they can contain on their bookshelves.
The photography is stunning and other illustrations in the book are fascinating and often quite original, i.e. the sort that you don't commonly find in other books or Web sites on the subject.
One unique aspect of this book that I particularly appreciate is the way it is organized. Every other book on the subject follows the same proven approach: a chronologically organized history of the marque. Van Bogart's book, by contrast, is divided into different histories focusing on different aspects of the marque rather than a single history that encompasses all of them. For example, after reading a general history, the chronology repeats again, this time focusing on Cadillac's impact on pop culture, then again focusing on Cadillac's innovations, and so-on.
Although I've read many books on the history of Cadillac, and although this book is not as thorough as others, I really enjoyed recounting Cadillac history with a different focus each time.
I gave this book a 4-star rating for its beautiful photography, interesting illustrations, and particularly for its novel approach to recounting the history of Cadillac. The fifth star is reserved for anyone who can match Thomas Bonsall's out-of-print "Cadillac: The American Standard", which is also available in more abbreviated and updated form as "Cadillac: The Postwar Years". These books represent the benchmark for the subject in my opinion.
